Some Deeper Thoughts

I'm going to start maybe writing in here sometimes about more than funny things.  Here's a start:

To God, there's no sin worse than another.  Sin is sin, a sinner is a sinner. To God, a little white lie is the same as adultery or even murder. To God, a liar is no better or worse than a murderer.  From this I conclude that I cannot judge another person on account of their sin. I see it through worldly terms; to us fallible mortals, murder is way worse than a lie. But to God, a sin is a sin, and a sinner is a sinner.  And yet he loves us, imperfect as we are, all of us, he loves each and every one of us, with all of Him.  I want to learn to love as God does, so what will I do?  I will try to refrain from judging a person; on appearance, on what I hear about them, on anything.  I will pray that God guides my thoughts and opens my eyes so I can see, and that he will forgive me when I fall.

One thing I've struggled with, that I've become aware of in the last couple weeks, is how I feel about what Jesus did for us, dying on the cross for me.  Hearing this line in the song 'Amazing Love' : "It was my sin that held him there..." makes/made (i'm praying about it) me feel guilty,  I am the cause for Jesus death (i know not me alone), it is my sin that caused him pain, that brought the whip upon his back.  But I've been reading my bible, praying that God would clarify this for me.  I found a verse, though I can't seem to find it now, that says something to the extent of "I will take your sins upon myself."  Which is different than I was/am looking at it.  He'll take the penalty of our sins upon himself out of his love for us.  He wants us to call on him so we can be washed of our sins by his blood.  Jesus forgives us for the sins we commit, if we bring them to him, and he washes us clean.  He holds no grudge against us (which is something that I semi-thought he would hold against us) for our sins.  He did all he did in his life, death, and resurrection out of his love for us.  "Amazing Love, how can it be, that you my God would die for me."

There's some deepness.
